just wondering, what is the most irritating, stressful sound you can think of???:mad: :) :mad:

personally mine is an unanswered telephone. or constant drilling!

Ashlee Simpson (http://www.ashleesimpsonmusic.com/)

A high pitched whistle...

lol @ ashlee simpson!

the sound that newborns make while they are nursing, it is kinda a weird wet wheezing yuck.....

oh and the high pitched squeal that my radio makes sometimes when it is inbetween stations....


and the emergency brodcast sound, I hate that one......

ooh and fingernails on blackboards

The sound that the smoke alarms in my house make.

Yes, I know, they're designed to be irritating so that you don't ignore them or sleep through them. But my mother-in-law inevitably sets them off every time she steps into my kitchen. Don't get me wrong - I actually like my mother-in-law, and she produced a wonderful daughter, but I really wish she'd let me or my wife do the cooking when she's here. We're both excellent cooks, and rarely fill the kitchen with smoke.

:p

lol :p thanks for these! i have a project for college and figured this would be the easiest and quickest way to get a wide variety of opinions. much appreciated.

The high-pitched hum of a Television has been my favorite lately. My room-mates never turn the *&^% thing off. The only time it is not on is when all six of us are at class. Literally. I get home at 3am a couple nights ago, and five minutes later one of them walks in, and plays video games for the next three hours, rather than the logical idea of going to bed. And our tv has a loud hum. You can hear it aproaching from outside of the apartment, or at least I can. But the pitch it hums it is particullary iritating to my ears, and cuts through most any other noise. And TV in general is just getting old. Other bad noises include fingernails and blackboard, a clutch that is starting to go bad, brake pads that need replaced, and begining clarinetists.

My ex-boyfriend. Constant freakin' talking. Can't escape, either, 'cos he ALWAYS hangs out the same places I do.

*Sigh* I"ve learned my lesson; no more dating within my social circle. I've got to start bringing in new guys who we can later shun.

anyone else got any more?

The horrific combination of a screaming toddler in the middle of a tantrum and soul-destroying sounds of supermarket music.

*shudder*

I work at a supermarket. I know that all too well.

Yep, it is truly a cacophony of evil to flay the spirits of men. Part of why I try to stick with night fill whenever possible.

just wondering, what is the most irritating, stressful sound you can think of???:mad: :) :mad:

Passing trains. I can tune out most noises, but when I'm waiting at a train station and a train passes by, I always jump. As a train gets closer, the noise builds up and up until it's deafening and I always expect it to keep on getting louder.

chewing with mouth open is my #1 - there are many, many noises that irritate me (i'm an irritable person :P )
plus anything too close to my ear

I thought of something else -- breathing. I can't stand people who are extremely loud breathers.

Also hate the sound of people eating -- even if they're not chewing with their mouth open, I just don't want to listen to all that mastication. Yuck.

The alert sound from the broken fire alarm when I was at university. Just a 'bleep bleep bleep' noise continuing for over 72 hours...

ditto on both counts

you cannot beat me muahahhahhahaha http://www.battlefieldhq.com/hosted/haha/
ok the link button aint working so erm just copy paste that and you see what i mean, do i get a prize for like having the worst sound ever, or a medal for taking the time to make sure it stayed on the net to bug poor people that are unsuspecting of it... i got punched by the chap in the picture because i kind of put this on cd and sold it round my school and well i got punched.

The pathetic "poor me" private telephone conversation whine of a chronic low-self-esteem secretary... :headbang:

Tinfoil being chewed.

People smacking their lips as they chew with their mouth open. Makes me wish I carried a staplegun with me always to punish these people.

That whisteling sound some people make when breathing through their noses.
And the sound of the guy sitting next to me at work singing "Oh, what a beautiful morning" ... every morning. EVERY #@^%-ing single morning... :mad:

Birdsong. You may well ask why- after all, birdsong is supposed to be happy and uplifting to the spirit. Well, at 6.00 a.m. its the exact opposite. Every summer, every day a bird lands on my window sill at some hour unknown to man and god alike and sings a joyous song to welcome in the new dawn.

Someday, I'm going to grab that little tweeting bastard and break its neck.

i hate it when people hum when they breathe. i mean what is that? how hard is it to just @%&*$ng breathe quietly.

oh and people who have a dry smokers cough, but its just one tiny little cough EVERY 15 seconds. that really gets my goat. :sniper:

My ex, yelling at me! Heh! GROAN!

lol....my mother in law had false teeth,and chewed with her mouth open,all the while her fake teeth are clicking away.....aaaargh...it almost made me hurl a few times.

also the sound of teeth scraping against a metal fork or spoon..sends shivers up my spine!

A high pitched whistle...
aka Ashlee Simpson

Dishes clanking together.. destroys the nerves. In all my years as a dishwasher, I never got used to it.. I'd get pissed and smash a plate or two just to keep myself together.. the way ceramic plates scream at the slightest jostling is intolerable.

The lead singer from My Chemical Romance...his voice annoys the hell outta me


Also all those people who sing out of their nose.

oh sorry I just thought of another one.

people who click thier tounge rings against thier teeth, something about titanium hitting enamel is really annoying.....

Tinfoil being chewed.

*runs screaming from the thread*

My brother used to do that to me all the time. ARRRRGGGHHH!!

Anyway, my answer: Cats mating.

aka Ashlee Simpson

lol :p

Zack de la Rocha's voice in the song "Bulls on Parade."

one of my cats, at 4am, out of sheer boredom, practices making the sound of a crucified child....

Loud eaters ... the types who make sure you can hear exactly what's in their mouth.

The nieghbors barking puppy has just about driven me insane. Only my deep love for animals has kept it alive so far.

The icecream van near where I live. A horrible jangly version of Greensleaves. Usually still around at about 11:00pm. Latest I've heard it is 1:00am. Somehow I don't think it is selling ice cream.

My alarm clock's beep drives me into a killing rage. :mp5: I hit that thing so hard to shut it up!

There are other ulgy sounds too, but most of them have already been listed.

Any kind of plastic utinsel being scraped against a styrofoam plate, particularly, a "spork."

1) There's a girl I know who absolutely lacks a volume control, she also says the stupidest crap I've ever encountered.

2) Babies wailing annoy the hell out of me. I long for the day when Baby Mute Buttons become standard

3) Billy Corgan, enough said

Children. By far they are better unseen and unheard.

A New York accent!

can't believe no one's mentioned mosquito buzzing around your head while you're trying to sleep'...
